Green Jacket for Eric

Eric Messenger won the Threlkeld Hall Trophy on Sunday and with it the coveted Green Jacket.  This annual Stableford competition is open to all members but the Green Jacket is awarded to the golfer aged 50 or over who returns the best score on the day.  Eric who was playing off 14 had a great round and won by a convincing margin, scoring 42 points that also resulted in his handicap being reduced to 12.  Second place went to Alan Levy off 12 on 39 points with Barry Gaskell off 13 taking third place with 36 points.

The newly crowned Club Champion Liz Scott off 5 headed the Ladies section with 37 points.  Her great rival Pam Dobinson off 7 took second place on 35 and Joan Thornburn who plays off 36 came third on 33 points.

Liz and Pam also shared the ladies spot prizes for nearest the pin in two on the 18th with Liz being the closer of the two.  Steve Grogan was nearest in two on the 18th in the men’s section and Eric Messenger made his day even more special with his tee shot on the 16th not only giving him nearest the pin on that hole but also enabling him to record the only “Two” on the day.
